Boys being bad: Three juveniles causing problems in Walmart over the last few weeks were tracked down, Sunday. Employees said they’d asked them to leave and they did, but this time they wanted the kids, all wearing school T-shirts, identified so they could be trespassed from the store. Police located the trio on the other side of the mall and after identifying them, spoke with their parents and advised them of the complaint and that the kids are not permitted in Walmart.

Brotherly love: Someone reported hearing a disturbance in the 100 block of South Fifth Street, Sunday. As they arrived, police said they heard “what sounded like two people ‘rolling’ around in the upstairs apartment” and when they entered, discovered two brothers “actively fighting with one another.” The older brother told police he was “tired of his younger brother not listening (or) being respectful of his wishes” and bringing people into his home who he is unfamiliar with, claiming “some of them recently pointed a (gun) at him.” He said the argument started after he told his brother he didn’t want him bringing his girlfriend into the residence anymore. The younger brother confirmed his account, and police said neither of them wanted to pursue charges against the other. Police said one of the brothers agreed to leave for the night so they waited for him to gather his things but had to step between them when the other brother tried to “shove his way past (the officer) to start another fight.

Arguing: A caller reported a disturbance at a Colonial Drive apartment, Sunday. A female said she and the father of her child had been arguing but he’d already left.

Bad place: A juvenile driver was stranded in the 1600 block of Sunset Boulevard because his vehicle “was immobile and would not shift or drive,” police said. Due to breakdown being “in a bad spot (where it) could easily be struck,” police called for a tow and drove the boy home.

Hungry: Deputies caught up to a small child in Mingo Junction who has been asking residents for water and food, July 9. The youth, described as “maybe 8- to 10-years-old” and wearing a superman outfit and no shoes, turned up at a Wilson Avenue location but ran off when he saw the homeowner calling 9-1-1. Minutes later a homeowner living about a block away reported the child was at her home asking for food and a drink. The child said he lives with a family member who was “not providing him with potato chips and…was being mean” and ran away, deputies said. He said there are alarms on the doors and windows of his residence but he “climbed a chair in the kitchen to deactivate the alarms and left through the basement door.” Deputies said the child had picked up a piece of broken glass and had small fragments in his finger, so before taking him to the hospital deputies took him home to get his shoes and a jacket. They said there was ample food in the residence and the boy had his own room and age-appropriate toys.

Commotion: A Springdale Avenue, Wintersville caller reported a woman running between trailers “screaming and saying unknown things,” July 7. The woman is known to have an addiction problem. Deputies said she agreed to go to the hospital for evaluation.

Harassment: Two people living in an RV parked along a county road said a pickup truck pulled up alongside them and “started calling (them) pedophiles and other rude names,” July 7. The caller said they were going to move the RV to another location and that “if anything escalates…there they do have baseball bats to defend themselves.”

Flagged: Someone reported a man was “trying to flag down vehicles and…get into them” on state Route 43, Bergholz, July 8. Deputies who located the man said they took him into custody on outstanding warrants. Adam R. Ryan, 30, of Bloomingdale was booked into the county jail on charges of domestic violence, disorderly conduct and having weapons under disability, deputies said.

Unhappy: A Rayland woman wanted her son removed from her home, July 9. She claimed he was removing things from the home, but deputies said he could be heard in the background insisting he’d done no such thing. Deputies said the son and his girlfriend went to his father’s home for the evening.

Assault reported: A Bloomingdale woman said she was attacked by her husband, July 9. She said he was sitting in his truck outside the residence and told deputies her back was injured. Deputies said the two separated for the night.

Tapped out: A Steubenville area resident said his ex “will not leave him alone,” July 10. He said he’s told her several times to leave him alone but she won’t listen, and now claims to be pregnant. He said if he is the father he will support the child “but until then he wants left alone,” but said she’s “repeatedly messaging, calling and texting him from other peoples’ phones and social media outlets.” He said she’s currently homeless as far as he knows and does not have a phone but uses messaging apps to contact him. He said at one point a guy named Joshua “called him and…(threatened) to beat him up” and believes she put him up to it.

Nuisance: An Adena man complained that someone in a truck at his neighbor’s house was “blowing his horn non-stop” in the wee hours of the morning, July 10. Police couldn’t locate the truck the man described, but they were able to stir the homeowner, who said he’d been sleeping. He said the truck probably belonged to his brother “but he did not know why he would be honking the horn that early.”
